Hello there

Hello all,
I'm an avid reader and have a groaning book shelf.
I am studying programming and have decided to pick up an e-book reader to help my back instead of lugging round loads of technical books but i am stuck for choice.
I intend to get a reader for Christmas and like the Sony PRS-505 but most of my e-books will initially be the digital copies that come with the books I buy, I am not sure what readers will play these books without any DRM issues.

any help would be appreciated

P.s. I am in the UK and cant afford more than about £200, I have found the PRS-300S for £150 but again don't really know if my e-books will work or what constitutes a good reader.

Thank you
